McKenzie Mitchell was released by WWE last week.
During her time with WWE, she was involved in “The Bump” and served as a backstage interviewer in NXT. Prior to joining WWE in September 2019, Mitchell worked as an interviewer for Impact Wrestling from May 2016 to January 2019.
This is something head of NXT creative, Shawn Michaels, spoke about during today’s Deadline media conference call. He said,
“No, I don’t. McKenzie is always going to be a part of the NXT family. It obviously took me by surprise as well, my understanding is that there are some areas where we have overlapping jobs and there were going to be changes. There are a lot of things that go on in this company that are way above me, and this was obviously one of them. Like we always say, the door is always open in the WWE, I think that, in my opinion, McKenzie will always be a part of the NXT family and it doesn’t mean that we can’t revisit that relationship down the road. Obviously, it’s a loss to us in NXT, but the machine, as always, has to continue to roll on and we will obviously do that and miss her greatly because everybody absolutely loves and adores McKenzie.”
